It's Jennifer from Tarle speech with  your two for Tuesday homophone lesson.

Homophones are words that are  pronounced exactly the same way.  

They just have different  spellings and different meanings.  

Our words today are boulder which is a large rock  and bolder which means daring and less hesitant.

So let's take a look at these words  and we are going to start with that  

b sound. To do this your lips are together.  Then we are going to move to that long o.

So to do this from that b open your mouth  wide, tip of your tongue will be low,  

back of the tongue will be pulled high up, and  then you're going to move to a pucker. As you  

move to a pucker, your tongue will just flatten  out in your mouth, and it'll be in the middle.

Then touch the tip of the tongue to the  back of the top front teeth for that l.  

Pull it down for the d- d.

And then end with the er. Think  about having square tense lips here.  

The reason I teach it this way is  because of the mistakes I see are:

people pucker too much or they just have their mouth relaxed way too much

And then you don't get your tongue in the  right place and you have the incorrect sound.  

Tip of the tongue will be low, back  of the tongue will be pulled high up,  

or you can flip the tongue tip back as long as the  back of that tongue is nice and high and tense.

Let's put it all together boulder  

bolder boulder bolder boulder bolder boulder

And now for a sentence:

After the hiker moved the  small boulder he felt bolder!

Give it a try people will notice the difference!
